The Digital Public Library of America has released a call forĀ participants to join itsĀ Education Advisory Committee. As a result of aĀ recentĀ Whiting Foundation grant, the DPLA is looking for “a small group of enthusiastic humanities educators in grades 6-14” to build sets of primary resources, provide feedback on tools for students and teachers, and assist the DPLA in developing and revising itsĀ strategy for education resource development.
Those educators selected will meet in Boston in July 2015 and March 2016, with virtual meetings inĀ 2015 and 2016, and will receiveĀ a $1,500 stipend for participation as well as full reimbursement for travel costs.
Educators can apply via the Digital Public Library of America Education Advisory CommitteeĀ application form orĀ direct their questions toĀ education@dp.la. Applications are due July 1, 2015.
